Summary: On May 23, 2005, the Planning Commission approved a design review application for a new two- story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage at 1532 Bernal Avenue, zoned R-1 (May 23, 2005, Planning Commission Minutes). A building permit was issued on August 16 2005, and construction is underway. The applicant is now proposing to eliminate the approved chimney on the right side of the house towards the rear and replace it with a direct vent gas fireplace. The proposed revision would retain the stone siding of the chimney on the first floor. The applicant submitted a letter, dated May 10, 2006, describing the reasons for replacing the chimney with a direct vent fireplace. The design of the house, other than revision to the chimney, remains unchanged. The previously approved and proposed second level floor plans and building elevations, date stamped May 10, 2006, are included for your review. Planning staff would note that because of the minor revision to replace the approved chimney with a direct vent gas fireplace, it was determined that the proj ect could be reviewed by the Commission as an FYI item. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing with direction to the applicant.
